Is Amazon Prime susbscription worth it?

It's worth it when it's free, I've lost count of the number of times I've had a month's free trial. As far as paying for it goes, not a chance, I usually tick the free delivery option anyway.

As above I use it primarily for the postage. We live in a very rural location, so it's invaluable. The TV service included is an added bonus. It's not brilliant, you have to pick and choose, but considering what you get for the money it's fine.

I tried it and the deiveries were rarely quicker than the free option. The order value for free postage has crept up since then so if you often need something less than that value and cannot wait it might be worth it.
On the other hand I find a google search typically throws up the item cheaper elsewhere, or it may be cheaper direct from the manufacturer and the Amazon offer is actually their mark up on top of that.

Yes........if you're married to Mrs P 🤣

Definitely worth it to cover delivery costs and if you want quick delivery. Delivery is usually in 24 hours and from time to time the same day. We have an enormous Amazon warehouse and distribution centre 15 miles from home. The video service is a bonus.

My daughter really gets her money out of it. Mind you there are 3 of them plus me. Service is amazing.
I would have it if I didnt have use of my daughter's.
If its not been said I believe you can order food off it though I have no details.

Prime is great for our household, neither of us particularly enjoyed going to shops in person before we both ended up with long covid and since then (just like Tesco delivery), it's been a godsend. We used to stream the video content quite frequently, but we started a Paramount sub at Xmas and are currently working our way through the vast Star Trek content that is new to us (Discovery, Strange New Worlds, newer seasons of Lower Decks).

Got it one December for Christmas deliveries (a long time ago now!), forgot to cancel, but have stuck with it ever since. I watch a lot of films on it, and I like the next day delivery when I need it. Suits me, and is affordable.

My friend Miss Goodbody, who lives on the coast, reports that her delivery guy often seems to shake and listen to her deliveries. It stems from that time one of her packages arrived buzzing inside its box. 🤔
